WELCOME TO SOUTH HILLS COSTA MESA

South Hills is a new church in the Costa Mesa/Newport area. We believe that church should be a place where everyone is welcome and anyone can belong – regardless of race, class, or creed. We try our best to create that environment at South Hills, and we would love for you to come and see for yourself. We meet Sunday mornings at Ensign Intermediate School at 9:00 & 10:30am.

Everyone likes the idea of hope, but what happens when the floor falls out from under you and you find yourself feeling broken, abandoned or forgotten? Sometimes we experience suffering that doesn’t seem to have a purpose. What do we do when we want to believe, but struggle with unbelief? Can hope rise in the midst pain?

"What I love about South Hills is that you can be yourself. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else, or like you have to have it all together."

Edwin

"We just moved here so we were new to the area and new to the community. Finding good true friendships and real relationships was hard, and this has just been a place for us to call home."

Lauren

"I was looking for a sense of community, and since coming to South Hills I have this great sense of friendship. I truly feel like I belong here."

South Hills Church - Kid Nation Evaluation

The purpose of this form is to evaluate the Kid Nation experience of a South Hills Church campus.
Kid Nation's 3 Core Values and "Promise To Parents" are Safety, Community, and Gospel. We recognize that if we aren’t a safe place, parents won’t want to drop off kids. We also recognize that if kids aren’t growing in their personal friendships through community, then they won’t want to come back. When we achieve those two values, kids can experience for themselves who God is, how He sees them, and how much He loves them through the gospel.
Because of this, Kid Nation will be evaluated through that lense.
